Objective:
The land on which hospital and public sector buildings occupy is limited and valuable. Expansions to hospital buildings and wards create a greater need for car parking capacity. Surface level car parks use valuable land and space. Octavius was challenged to release the land and increase parking provision.
The construction of a new intermediate care ward at Salford Hospital resulted in a loss of circa 100 spaces on the campus. Additional car parking spaces were needed to meet the capacity demand created by the expansion. Salford Hospital awarded Octavius the contract based on our history of building modular steel-framed car parks within the public and private sector.
Solution:
Octavius installed a modular parking system which is approximately 30% cheaper than traditional pre-cast concrete construction. This system provides a solution that is both cost effective and efficient in design.
